Morgan Cox

ELDERSBURG — Baltimore Ravens teammates Morgan Cox and Gino Gradkowski took their places at the head of opposing teams Monday afternoon.

At "go," Cox and Gradkowski led dueling teams of students and Ravens cheerleaders at Piney Ridge Elementary School through a tag team race — five jumping jacks, ladder agility drills and five rope jumps — to kick-off the school district-wide annual Project ACES program. ACES is short for Active Children Excel in School.
